JOE FOGEL THE HARNESS MAN ..,.... ,7. 71 Showing That Men Are Brutes j"""- POWER OF WORD OVER MAN NEBRASKA AND KANSAS I NTERSTATE TO BE HELD AT REUNION When the Thompsons catno In from their brisk Sunday afternoon walk, cheerful and happy, Mrs. Thompson deposited her wonderful millinery cre ation on the table In the reception hall, Then she 'hastened Into the kitchen to prepare one of her delight ful Sunday evening suppers, which Thompeon says are entirely without equals In the cultnnay line. Thompson removed his hat and coat and Uien wandered Into the kitchen after his wife. He has a way of "tag ging" her about the house. This Is due partly to the fact that ho Is an ab stractly social creature and partly to the strange clrcuniBtanco that he has a particular predilection for his wife's, society. Presently he drifted Into the pantry and returned with a small yel low skinned onion In his hand. "What do you call this beautiful ob-' Ject?" he Inquired facetiously. His wife considered this attempt at, witticism quite .unworthy of notice. She merely instructed him to put the onion back where It belonged or he would be smelling like an onion patch. After dipping around Into various things which he should hare left alone, Thompson left the kitchen, still hold ing the onion in his band. On his way to the living room he pawed through) the hall and there, spying the Sunday hat of Mrs. ThompHon, ho wan moved to separate the feathers and other bi jouterie which adorned It and to( drop the recently acquired redolent root Into tlio nest thus arranged. After this frisky deed ho went Into the living room and soon forgot his lit tle Joke. Calling Llfe-Preserver a "Belt" Caused the Loss of Many Lives In Boor- gegne Disaster. A vlrld Illustration of tho power of mere words over human beluga was once bro ight to the attention of French people by Franclsquo Snrcoy. After tho wreck of tho Bourgogno many passengers wero found floating drowned with life preservers on. Thesu life preservers were fastened upon tho bodies but round the middle instead of under the arms, and tho greater weight of the upper part of the body had tipped tho bend tinder water and the person of course was inevitably drowned. Now It appears that tho greater number of the persons bo drowned were Fieneh. The French term for life preservers Is eelnture do sauvo-. tago, or "life saving belt." This word eelnture suggests to the mind, In Its moments of disorder and unreadiness euch as a great catastrophe brings, the Idea of putting on a belt, and, as a belt Is put round tho waist and no- whero else, the frightened person In ettnctlvely adjusts the life preserver close about the hips. Tho result Is that as soon na the person so provided falls Into the wa ter, his body tips over, with the heav ier part downward, and the head la plunged beneath Die surface. The word "belt," therefore, was the cause of tho loss of many lives In the BourgoKne disaster. Sarcey accord ingly proposed to counteract tho fa-' tal effect of the nrtlclo, and calling lit a brasslcte, which Is a kind of waist, and, by bringing tho word bras or nrm to 111I111I, to teach people to put a life preset ver on Just underneath the anus Bloomington, Neb., August 1419 Prominent Speakers will deliver addresses each day.

Thompson dressed for tho ton given by Mrs. Lawton Mrs. Iawton was quite the most aristocrat ic person among Mrs. Thompson's ac quaintances, so she was particularly anxious to make a good appearance, though she hated teas in a good deal of a huriy. Sho entered the street car which would take her nearest her destination very much out of breath and with one glove still only pui tly on. 9ho was too much occupied "with her glove for a few momenta to be con scious of extraneous things, but pres ently her .thoughts became less con centrated and Bhe began to perceive a faint odor of oniona in the air. She looked auspiciously at the woman who sat next to her and the woman who aat next to her looked suspiciously at her. Before long the other woman, snif fing the air with obvious Intent, rose and took a seat as far away from Mra. Thompson aa possible. "Wall," murmured Mrs. Thompson, indignantly to herself, "if people will soak themselves in onions they have to expect to be annoyed by the odor." However, she was somewhat sur prised to realize In a few moments that, in spite of tho departure of the woman the scent of onloua still hung In tho atmosphere. With a slight ex clamation of annoyance she glanced sldewlso at tho woman on the other stde of her and after a minute or so followed the example of the first wom an. For a short tlmo alio seemed to have escaped the penetrating odor, but when the little breeze caused by her hasty movement had died down, the onion odor once more demanded her attention. It, became so Insistent that she breathed a sigh of relief when she reached her corner and left the car. Bhe was having a fairly good time at the tea when the acquaintance with whom she had been talking suddenly put up a gloved hand and murmured behind it: "Truly, it Is a horrible sus picion, but I a in becoming more and more convinced every minute that our hostess is going to serve onions au naturale on this festive occasion." It was at this point that Mrs. Thomp son began to feel distinctly uncomfort able. Just how she could shed an onion flavor everywhere she went she was totally unable to Imagine, but if the odor had no connection with her, why did it follow her about so per sistently ? She was still turning this question over uneasily In her mind, when Mrs. Perkins, who lived two blocks from her, approached her and invited her to drive home with her In her electric runabout. When they had gone only a little distance Mrs. Perkins gave a sudden exclamation of disgust. , "Do you smell onions?" she asked. "Mrs. Thompson sniffed faint heart edly. "I I believe I do,"she mur mured, meekly. "I do believe," concluded Mrs. Per kins, vehemently, "that our chauffour has been sleeping In the carl" Inventor of First Practical Ones Wat American Whose Idea Was Pat ented by Another. Friction mutches are n comparative ly modern invention. They wero first made by John Walker In Knglnnd, In 1827, but were rather crude nffalrH. He improved them somewhat In 1833 by using phosphorus. Tho first really practical friction mntch was made In the I'nlU'd States In 1830 by 1,. C. Al len of Sprlngtl(ld. Mass. lleforo this time a clumsy form of match waH im ported from France, which had to be dipped (nto a bottle of sulphuric acid before it could be lighted. Thlu took a great deal of time and trouble, and Allen, seeing tho neces sity for friction matcheB, sot about to make them, and succeeded. He neg lected to patent them, however, and on finally applying for letters patent found that a man named Alonzo Phil ips, who wns a peddler, had discov ered through a third person the secrot of making the matchos and bad al ready obtained a patent. Thus Allen, though tho real Inventor, was forced to become a mere manufacturer under another man's patent. She was in the depths of depression whon Thompson reached home. With-' out delay Bhe poured her tale of woe Into his ear. Aa she proceeded, his in itial expression of Indiscriminate syra party became tinctured with under standing. Then the bright light of comprehension spread over his face, tbe corners of his mouth quivered with mirth and at tbe, climax he gave vent! to a shout of laughter. "Oh7my dear' be said when he was ab to speak, "you certainly will kill me when I tell you." Qo be did tell ber, but be was no longer laughing when be reached the end of his tale. In truth, be was' obliged to address tbe latter part to' ber Indignant back as rhe flew angrily up tbe stairs. Tbe price of peace was a new hat, bigger and more wonderful than tho one with tbe onion flavor. Novel Insurance. The good pcoplu of Frankfort seem to have gone one better than tho ro cent Innovation at Lloyd's to Insuro against bad weather during holidays. The Frankfurters have started a com pany to Insure tho lives of dogs. Whether tho policies are for endow ment or annuities or for death only wo do not know, nor Is tho name of tho company given, hut a Paris con temporary suggests that it will prob ably bo tbo "JJundenJebenej-Blcher-unggeseilschaft," or 'something an-, proachiug it. The Idea of Insuring children's lives is not pleasant, but, tho prospect of making money out of the'death of the friend of man Is more repellaut. Such an Idea was not, In the notion stage when Lamartlne declared, "Tho more I see of men tho more I love -dogs." If It had been, the aphorism would probably have been more scathing.

Defore ho could light tho cigar, a red-haired waitress ran up aud snatched the weed out of-his mouth. Ho protested vigorously. "I smoko In tho Waldorf In Now York," he argued, "and In tho " "I don't know nothin' 'bout tho Wnl dorf or tho nothin' else," said tho waitress with tho red hair, "an' I don't caro 'bout them, but tho rules is rules, and it's a rule that no smok ing goes In here."
